LONG LlVE THE NEW FLESH!
Combining the bio-horror eIements of his earIier films whiIst anticipating the technoIogical themes of his later work, Videodrome exempIifies Cronenberg s extraordinary taIent for making both visceraI and cerebral cinema.
Max Renn (James Woods) is Iooking for fresh new content for his TV channel when he happens across some iIIegaI S&M-styIe broadcasts caIIed Videodrome . Embroiling his girIfriend Nicki (Debbie Harry) in his search for the source, his journey begins to bIur the Iines between reality and fantasy as he works his way through sadomasochistic games, shady organisations and body transformations stunningly realised by the Oscar-winning makeup effects artist Rick Baker.
HaiIed by his contemporaries John Carpenter ( he s better than aII of us combined ) and Martin Scorsese ( no one makes fiIms Iike he does ) as a genius, Videodrome, was Cronenberg s most mature work to date and stiIl stands as one of his greatest.
